Kelly hosted our playgroup today. She is always hostess with the mostess. I knew her meal would NOT disappoint. It was ohh soo good and I fell in love with the gaucamole. It was my kind of meal. Harper did not know what to think about all the people at her house. Jenna and Brayden. Harper was wearing one of my most favorite outfits of all times. My Little Pony. Emily had a fit over it! I wish I had gotten a better picture of her in it. The tutus were busted out. The girls were in bliss. Harper taking it all in. She looks sooo cute!!!!!!!!!!!! Neely joined in the fun with a tutu. Emily adores Neely. Jaimi with Jordan and Jackson. John Michael. He and SK are the same age. Crawling Kinley Jackson, Alex and Emily Caleb The new babies. Vonda with Brandon and Robin with Caleb. For 3 years, I would always give Kelly a playgroup report on Thursdays. I always looked forward to the day she could be there. So neat for her to be able to host today. It was great! Her house may never be the same, but we enjoyed!
"her house will never be the same" HA HA...You two inspired me to do my own play group down here in Houston. I think it's so cool how you all get together to let the kids play and talk. I really need some other Mom's to talk with, and I think the play group is perfect. I'm hosting first in Sept, and I'm SO excited!
You have such sweet babies that are always dressed so cute!
Love reading about the fun. That John Michael is a cutie...definitely claim him for SK now. I loved the pictures from the walk around the museum. All three girls are so cute.
Ever since Steve and I started dating, when we would go to Mississippi, his aunt would make the BEST ROAST IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! Steve's Dad's side of the family gets together at his Granny's house for lunch every Sunday after church. The food is always sooo good!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always taken a liking to his Aunt Judy's roast. It really is the best roast I have ever had. When we were there on Labor Day weekend, my sister in law asked Aunt Judy for the recipe. Aunt Judy began naming all the ingredients. She said Ranch Dressing mix, and I bugged my eyes out and nearly chocked. I HATE RANCH DRESSING. I don't even like to be in the room with it. I had to focus on the word MIX....not the mayo and butter milk and sour cream that you add to it. Just typing those words makes me shudder. The recipe sounded awful as she rattled off the ingredients, but I promise, you have got to make this if you like a good roast. Trust me on this. Here it is: Get a tender chuck...
Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now. Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago. We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun! No stress at all, as far as I can remember! I just played. I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year! Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons." WHAT? I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go? I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST....
Friday I decided that Emily was spending too much time watching t.v. I read an article on the internet about how babies learn best with hands on experiences. Emily has always LOVED t.v. She just gets glued to it. I had also been thinking about most all the toys she has are really too babyish for a 10 month old, sooooooooooooooooo I went to Wal-Mart Friday and got her some new toys. I got her a pull-along puppy and a toy in which you drop balls into the top of it and they go through a maze and turn on lights and play music. They were both for babies 12 months and older. Emily likes them, but she can't quite master them yet. She doesn't love them, as I had hoped. But, we have a family member who does LOVE them! It is our crazy cat Kristen. She loves to stalk and attack the puppy and she thinks the balls are for her. She played with them all afternoon on Friday. So Kristen thinks she has new toys especially for her and Emily is content playing with the remote, magazines, cords and...
